Granted IBM accounting is for the birds, and perhaps you downloaded as opposed to getting package shipped.
Just about every standard IBM report, just as a screen print, includes OS info, so if the auditors can accept that the only time you change the date time of system is for daylight savings, then just save a few key screen prints for future reference.
When system parameters get changed, that info is recorded in DSPLOG. Perhaps create a report for posterity to list those changes, if any, that you periodically run & store, at time intervals less than GO CLEANUP wipes out the log.
What would be an IBM-official, or at least an this-works-for-auditors method of verifying the date of the last OS install/upgrade? Not restore, but install/upgrade. 'Upgrade' means V4R5 to V5R1 type of stuff and not applying a PTF. GO LICPGM/50 doesn't go back far enough. The best I've been able to do so far is the WRKLICINF display screen for 5722SS1, but the auditors don't really feel it's representative. TIA, -- John A.
